## Ratfolk Clan Rats

Ratfolk are a prolific, though short-lived, race. They rarely want for numbers, though few of their kind have the opportunity to develop specialized skills. In battle, ratfolk clans leverage the quantity-over-quality approach of their race to field overwhelming numbers of otherwise unremarkable troops. All healthy ratfolk are equipped with basic weapons and armor and given enough rudimentary training to put it to use. These clan rats then utilize their overwhelming mass to break enemy fighters they would otherwise be unable to defeat in a one-on-one fight.

Clan rats are called such because they are most often the core fighting force of a given ratfolk clan. However, clan rat is a broad term, and any healthy but otherwise unremarkable ratfolk with some weapon proficiency and battle gear could be referred to as a clan rat.

### Volcanic Slashers

Some ratfolk clans make their underground homes in volcanic regions. They quickly learn how to utilize their fiery environment to their advantage, burrowing their homes around magma chambers that provide molten rock, useful for defending their lair with lava traps. The magma also proves useful for forging equipment, and ratfolk of these clans learn to imbue all their weapons with fiery properties.

The warriors of these clans also prove to be much hardier and heat resilient, as those lacking these qualities don’t last long within their volcanic homes. Known as volcanic slashers, these specialty clan rats combine their high fortitude with flaming weapons to burn their way across the battlefield.

This movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks. While frightened this way, the ratfolk can only take the Dash, Disengage, Dodge, or Hide action. This feature ignores immunity to the frightened condition.
